Tasting notes:

All the Collery wines are 100% grand cru and undergo full malolactic fermentation; part of the assemblage is aged in large casks. Really delicious, the wine has a medium-yellow-gold colour with tiny bubbles and bold raspberry, black cherry and wild strawberry fruit, accented by hazelnut, forest honey and cinnamon notes. Richly fruited and densely flavoured, the brutstyle palate is balanced by lively acidity and creamy mousse texture. Long, savoury and well-defined, the wine will work well with sautéed pigeon breasts in a gently spiced barberry-red wine sauce. (Patricia Stefanowicz MW)
